After months of testing and teasing, Toyota has finally launched the 2012 Corolla Altis in India. The new Corolla Altis is available in both petrol and diesel variants and is priced between Rs. 10.53 – 14.77 lakhs (ex-showroom, Delhi). The Toyota Corolla Altis facelift gets a revised petrol motor, which is now 1798cc in capacity and features a Dual VVT-i system, which allows two different timing mechanisms for the exhaust and intake valves.. Power of the petrol engine has been bumped to 140PS. The diesel engine remains untouched and is mated to a 6-speed gearbox as earlier. However the petrol Corolla is now available in both 6-speed manual and 7-speed CVTi options.
The Corolla Altis facelift also features some tweaks to the interior as well as the exterior. The headlights, grille, tail lights and other parts have been slightly modified to make the Corolla more appealing at the outside. Whereas, in the inside, the 2012 Corolla Altis now features smart entry, engine start stop button, 6.1 touchscreen DVD audio system, 8-way power driver seat, cruise control, reverse sensors, electro-chromatic rear view mirror, HID lights, headlight washers and all-wheel disc brakes. This makes the new Corolla Altis immense value with the feature rich variants. Honda, can we expect more features in the Civic? Or maybe a price cut!
